*Farewell to the Brands

The IUB Libraries purchased books to honor the service of Myles and Peg
Brand on their departure from the university. Letters presented by
Suzanne Thorin detailed the acquistitions and the reasons for their
purchase:

[To Myles] As a heartfelt expression of our gratitude for your support
of the IU Libraries, we have added the following books to the universitys
collections in your honor: Aesthetics: Sources in the Nineteenth Century,
John V. Price, editor. This eight-volume set features the most important
and least accessible Anglo-American 19th-century aesthetics texts....Your
steadfast support has benefited the IU Libraries immeasurably. Your
advocacy for the construction of the Ruth Lilly Auxiliary Library
Facility, your decision to name the Main Library in honor of Chancellor
Wells, and your infusion of annual funds for our collections have served
the university well.

[To Peg] In honor of your lasting influence on the academic community
through your artistry, scholarship and commitment, the IU Libraries have
added a distinctive artists book to the universitys collections:
Limestone Lives: Voices from the Indiana Stonebelt by IU M.F.A. student
Kate Ferrucci. This limited-edition, hand-printed book pays tribute to
Indiana limestone carvers with striking imagery and personal histories.

Peg responded with appreciation that the acquistions were "such
thoughtful gestures and so carefully chosen. What a wonderful way to
remember: a new treasure or two for the library."

The following serials cancellation requests have been received. When a
request has been made by a Collection Manager to cancel the
